i was wanting to know if anyone housed their snakes in tubaware boxes? if so, how did you help keep the lid on tight so the snake wont escape? any suggestions?

thank you.

I use sterilite tubs, drill holes for air, and use a rack.

i also use sterilite. except i solder holes for ventilation. and the only snakes i have a problem with escaping i used bungee cords. you can get tons for real cheap.

I find drilling to be easier - start with a very small bit and work your up and it doesn't crack them.

I've done both ways and once that iron gets hot it goes thru faster than a drill bit, only have to do it once, doesn't crack and there is no mess to clean up.

I've used plastic shoe boxes with hinged snap-on lids for babies and in some cases the larger version of these boxes for adults.
